Notes on My Visit to the St Louis SQL Group

Post Event Notes on SQLSaturday #3

Our 3rd SQLSaturday went amazingly well due to the efforts of Brian Knight and his volunteers. Attendance for the day was a massive 275 people! The day started well with wait time for check in no more than 5 minutes and everyone was patient thanks to our "greeter" Scott. Having someone working...

More volunteers, better logistics, and definitely a great site (same as we used for SQLSaturday#1 in Orlando) all combined to make it...
